(With this one move, Microsoft eliminates 30 years of software they find undercuts DRM, and their vision for, and control of Windows.) The purpose of XP Mode is to provide an inconvenient (yes, I mean inconvenient) way for people to run old 16 bit and incompatible 32 bit programs while encouraging them to "upgrade" away from perfectly good software (especially command line software) and force them buy new 64 bit stuff. XP Mode is actually Microsoft's PC Emulation software "Virtual PC" complete with a full and fully LICENCED version of Windows XP already installed and set up.

As a user of Windows 7 Professional 圆4, you are eligible to download and install Windows XP Mode for free. Perhaps your best answer would be to install XP Mode. Windows can be pretty bitchy about having what it considers to be the wrong version of it's software installed. There is a microsoft fix it you can download which cleans up after failed updates (why is this not done automatically by windows update?) and after running it, restarting in safe mode with networking, and installing it directly from a standalone installer, ie9 "installs", but if you run it and click on "help > about" it says its IE8, and then at some point after the computer gets BSOD (Blue Screen Of Death) and when it restarts, poof! Its IE8 again. :which is confusing, as it is not the same error. However, if you look at the event logs, it says: 0x80070643 :According to "get help with this error". Windows update fails with: "WindowsUpdate_80092004" "WindowsUpdate_dt000"

I'm using Windows 7 Professional 圆4 Service Pack 1 (Dual booted). Reinstalling windows is not a viable option! Unfortunately, for testing purposes I need to use Internet Explorer 9, and I've followed the MS Answers super helpful trouble-shooting guide, and scoured google, and still not managed to install it.Īlso tried IETester, Utilu IE Collection, Triple Booting a trial edition of windows.Īll the forums, eventually terminate at "Format disk, reinstall windows" solutions or have no reply.
